Well, most people dont eat horses (which im thankful for) but they are used for dog food. I dont know how anyone could kill any animal, and i am a vegetarian, but others just think of animals as food and not companions(:() ) Horses are also used for riding, and can make a lot of money if they are great show horses. I dont know why it is illegal, but i do think that people can be heartless sometimes. Some people only have horses so they can get money from shows. Well, people will never know why some animals are just more loved than others. I mean seriuously, would you erather have a cow or a horse? Any-way, thats just my opinion
 
This is going to cause a stir but recently after chatting to a bloke who has worked in a few different meatworks it made me think a bit. He had no problems with killing a cow and her calf or a lamb but when a foal came through with its mother he was devastated not realizing that they killed horses there. I am a horse lover but the thing that gets me is what really is the difference in what is been done? I wouldnt want the job of killing either and would feel equally horrible about each animals death regardless of species. Why is it illegal to consume horse meat within australia but its ok to kill and eat sooooo many poor cows. I eat meat so I'm not guiltless of providing a consumer need and even if we were allowed to eat horse i wouldnt go there but why is it illegal and since when?
Thats so true Meaghan cows do have personalities and are lovable.
